What causes water damage in Arizona

Monsoon storms

From mid-June through September, intense thunderstorms dump rain on hard desert ground, flooding washes, streets and low homes.

Flat and low-slope roofs

Many Arizona roofs are flat with scuppers or foam coatings; clogged drains and worn coatings let ponded water in.

Slab leaks and hard water

Homes sit on slabs with copper below, and very hard water wears out water heaters, valves and supply lines.

Homes and how they are built

Phoenix and Tucson are almost entirely slab-on-grade, stucco homes built since the 1950s, many with flat or tile roofs and the air handler in the attic or on the roof. Evaporative coolers on older homes add another water source on the roof.

When it happens

Monsoon season is June 15 to September 30. Winter storms bring steadier rain to the deserts and snow to Flagstaff and the high country, where pipes freeze.

Rules and insurance in Arizona

Contractors must be licensed by the Arizona Registrar of Contractors. Verify the license before hiring.

In every state, homeowners insurance excludes rising floodwater, which needs a separate flood policy. See what homeowners insurance covers.

Questions from Arizona homeowners

Does drying go faster in Arizona's dry air?

Surfaces dry quickly, but slabs, wall cavities and wood framing still hold water. Meters, not touch, tell you when it is dry.

Why does my flat roof leak in monsoon season?

Usually clogged scuppers or drains that let water pond, or a worn coating. Roofs should be checked before the season starts.

How do I check a contractor?

Look up the license with the Arizona Registrar of Contractors and confirm it is active and covers the work.
